January 14, 2015 – The highest elected official or other administrative staff in your community may have recently received a correspondence from the U.S. Census Bureau related to the Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) Program. This is an important opportunity for your community to ensure that its boundaries are correct in the Census Bureau files.
